i went eagle watching last weekend. it's a tradition i try to keep up every year. i used to count how many i spied, but have given up. the last time i counted 67, and the first year, in the late 90's, i counted 8.

i've decided to take their picture instead. here are a few of my favs from my last trip.

kristi and matthew...

back in july, a fellow photog friend married her longtime love and asked me to capture the couples' day. i was honored, to say the least. the wedding was elegant and simple. kristi made everything that she could herself--including a personalized cupcake topper! here are a few of my favs from kristi and matthew's special day!

back in september, i participated in the challenge 2,010, 30 items in 30 days. the idea was to get at least 67 people to donate one item per day and donate a total of 2,010 items. all of this in an effort to make us more aware of all the stuff we have.

i signed up, and oh my, did i become aware of how much stuff i had. i decided to make a little photo project out of it. these are all the things that left my tiny studio to find a deserving home. most of my items were clothing and donated to goodwill, some of them went to individual charity drives at work.

what hangs on your review mirror?
